...we are in a rural area and the truck comes by weekly to pick up our garbage. I could take our trash to the dump for free but it's a 45 minute round trip. Normally the same 70 something year old fellow, really quite nice. They would come and get it out of my garage if I asked for an extra $.50 per pickup but I take the can out to the street. Every time he comes, he makes sure the top is secure on the can and no rain/snow gets in and the can is returned almost exactly where I left it. If the can is not out there when he comes by, he waits on the roadside for a minute or two just in case I have forgotten or am running late. I went out and met him this morning and handed him a $20 in a card. We spoke about the snow, his son who had an accident and Christmas....

Merry Christmas
